Amrita shines in Ivory Anarkali for a Nikaah Ceremony
Amrita, dressed for her nikaah ceremony, in an anarkali recoloured to ivory for the day.
A nikaah calls for an outfit that holds its own against the formality of the ceremony without straying into bridal territory. For her UK nikaah, Amrita came to Fabilicious looking for an anarkali for a nikaah in a colour that felt entirely her own. She chose the Rust Sequin Embroidered Anarkali by Nidhika Shekhar, recoloured from its original rust to a soft ivory and made to measure with guidance over a video call.
Choosing an anarkali for a nikaah ceremony
An anarkali suits a nikaah particularly well. Its fitted bodice and flared silhouette feel formal without the volume of a full lehenga, while embroidery and sequin work photograph beautifully throughout the ceremony. For wedding guests more broadly, an anarkali also offers a considered middle ground: elevated enough for the occasion without competing with the couple.
Made to measure and recoloured to ivory
Amrita’s outfit began as the Rust Sequin Embroidered Anarkali, which is listed in its original rust colourway. After the colour change was confirmed, the design was recoloured to ivory and fitted through a 30-minute post-order measurement video call. Each measurement was guided step by step so the finished piece reflected both her chosen colour and her required fit.

What is a good anarkali for a nikaah ceremony?
An anarkali suits a nikaah well because its fitted bodice and flared silhouette feel formal without the volume of a lehenga. Embroidery or sequin work can provide occasion-ready detail, as seen in Amrita’s ivory version of the Rust Sequin Embroidered Anarkali.
Can an anarkali be customised to a different colour?
Colour changes may be available on selected designs and should always be confirmed before ordering. For Amrita’s outfit, the designer approved changing the original rust colourway to ivory for her ceremony.
How does the video-call measurement process work?
For made-to-measure orders, a 30-minute post-order video call guides you through each required measurement instead of relying only on a standard size chart. The measurements are then provided for the creation of your outfit.
Is an anarkali suitable for a wedding guest?
Yes. Anarkalis work beautifully for nikaahs, receptions and other formal wedding events. Kurta-sharara sets can provide a lighter alternative for daytime occasions such as a mehendi.
